Citizen Journalism Disclaimer & Terms of Use
This website and its contents are published for investigative, informational, and public interest purposes under the principles of citizen journalism. The materials presented herein — including but not limited to documents, timelines, commentary, and analysis — are the result of independent research, aggregation of publicly available information, and first-hand accounts from individuals directly involved in the matters described.
1. No Legal Advice or Professional Opinion
Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice, financial advice, or professional opinion. Readers are encouraged to consult with qualified legal counsel or financial advisors regarding any matters discussed here.
2. Allegations and Claims
This website reports on allegations, complaints, documents, and statements made by investors, whistleblowers, legal filings, and other sources. Many of the matters described are the subject of ongoing investigations, legal proceedings, or regulatory review. Unless expressly stated as a verified fact, all descriptions of misconduct, fraud, breach of duty, or illegal activity are presented as allegations or claims attributed to identifiable sources.
The use of terms such as "alleged," "it is said," "investors claim," "according to documents," or "purported" is intentional and reflects that these matters have not been finally adjudicated by a court of law or regulatory body unless specifically noted.
3. Presumption of Innocence
All named individuals and entities are presumed innocent of any criminal or civil wrongdoing unless and until proven otherwise by a competent court or regulatory authority. This website does not intend to state or imply that any person or entity has committed a crime or civil wrong, but rather reports on the existence of accusations, legal actions, and publicly documented concerns.
4. Freedom of Speech & Public Interest
This publication operates under the protection of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the principle of citizen journalism. The content serves a legitimate public interest by:
- Exposing potential financial misconduct;
- Alerting other investors to risks;
- Holding powerful actors accountable;
- Facilitating transparency in financial markets.
No malice or intent to harm the reputation of any individual or entity is intended. Any errors or omissions will be corrected promptly upon notification.
5. No Liability for Third-Party Content
This website may link to third-party documents, news reports, court filings, or other external sources. The inclusion of such links does not constitute an endorsement of their accuracy or legality. The publisher assumes no responsibility for the content of external websites or documents.

9. Right of Response & Correction Policy
In the interest of fairness, accuracy, and ethical journalism, this website grants a Right of Response to any individual, entity, or organization that is specifically named or explicitly identified in our reporting.
9.1 How to Exercise Your Right of Response
If you believe that any statement of fact published on this website regarding you or your organization is false, misleading, or omits necessary context, you may request a response by emailing FANresponse@proton.me with the subject line: "Right of Response Request."
Your request must include:
- Your full name and capacity (e.g., "representative of [Entity Name]").
- The specific URL(s) and language you dispute.
- A clear statement of the alleged inaccuracy.
- The factual correction you are requesting, including any supporting evidence.
9.2 Publication of Responses
Upon verification of good faith and relevance, the website will publish a summary of your response or your full statement in a dedicated "Clarifications & Responses" section. The original content will remain published but will be annotated with a visible editor's note linking to your response.
9.3 Corrections and Retractions
If we determine that our original reporting contained a verifiable factual error, we will issue a prominent correction. If a dispute cannot be resolved factually, we will note the disagreement and publish both positions.
9.4 No Requirement to Remove Content
This website does not agree to remove accurate, lawfully obtained, and publicly relevant information merely because it is critical of a person or entity. The Right of Response is a mechanism for adding context, not censoring reporting.
9.5 Good Faith Requirement
Abusive, threatening, or frivolous requests may be denied or made public. The publisher reserves the right to publish any communication received, including legal threats, in the interest of transparency.
